Supreme Court of Connecticut

In re Paulo T.

July 19, 2023347 Conn. 311

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment upholding reinstatement of the mother's guardianship rights. It declined to decide whether a presumption favoring reinstatement applies when both litigants are the child's parents because both parties agreed that it does not apply in that circumstance. The court concluded that, despite the trial court's reference to the presumption, the trial court actually used a neutral best-interests analysis guided by statutory factors.
